Everyone has a story to tell. What is yours?
Reading aloud to my students is one of my favorite things to do. Sharing books is a magical time and it’s not something I am willing to skip just because we are short on time. My read aloud time is filled with both picture books and chapter books, often for different reasons. Reading aloud to my students allows me to… Read More
We want our students to be determined and hard-working individuals who persevere when things get more challenging. When a student has a growth mindset, he believes he can improve with hard work and effort.

Every student can be an entirely different person in your presence! ❤️Love this!
I absolutely loved Cece Loves Science, so when I heard the sequel had been released, I couldn't wait to grab a copy!
Cece can’t wait to earn her camping pin as an Adventure Girl! She prepares for her trip by packing everything on the list, plus a few extras. After the girls put up their tent, they head out for a hike. When a storm rolls in, Cece puts her science skills to use to save the day.
I love how this story combines an outdoor adventure with the importance of STEM skills - such a great message for kids!

I love these two books I picked up at the BOGO Scholastic Book Fair!
The Three Little Superpigs tells the story of what happened after the the pigs defeated the Big Bad Wolf. In this story, the Three Little Superpigs are enjoying their new found fame and life of fighting crime around Fairyland. Little do they know, the Big Bad Wolf has been plotting his revenge. After the Big Bad Wolf escapes from Happily Never After Prison, he goes after the Superpigs. Will he catch the Superpigs once and for all, or will the Superpigs outsmart him all over again?
The Three Little Superpigs: Once Upon a Time tells a more traditional, yet slightly varied version of the original fairy tale. This one would be perfect for comparing and contrasting two versions of The Three Little Pigs!
You can find both of these books on Amazon (affiliate links):
